Madden 20 Early Wishlist: 10 Things Fans Demand

2. A Return For The Old Superstar Mode

Franchise is a treat at times and Longshot has its moments in terms of storytelling, but there's no option to live the life of an NFL superstar in Madden 19. Sure, you can throw touchdowns a-go-go with your fave QB, but there's nothing off the field to sink one's teeth into. You'd have to rewind a bit for that.

Madden games 06-14 (Madden 25), to be precise.

In those titles, EA worked magic with the old Superstar Mode. There, gamers had to assume the role of an NFL hero and deal with agents, the media, contract negotiations and more. In Superstar, you could even buy a house and check your personal emails. It was wonderfully engrossing, and it'd be even better on superior consoles now.

Come Madden 20, Superstar should make a long-overdue comeback. There's no excuse for leaving it out the feature set anyway; as deep as Franchise can be, having the power to control one player's career (and all the ups and downs that come with it on and off the field) is gripping stuff.
